04 - 56 g shredded cheddar cheese
05 - 20 g grated Parmesan cheese

06 - 100 g sliced pepperoni
07 - 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil

→ Topping

12 - 2 tablespoons (30 ml) melted unsalted butter
13 - 1 tablespoon (4 g) chopped fresh parsley
14 - 1 tablespoon (5 g) grated Parmesan cheese

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Roll out refrigerated pizza dough into a 23 x 33 cm rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
03 - Spread marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1 cm border around the edges. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese uniformly atop the sauce.
04 - Evenly distribute sliced pepperoni over the cheese. Sprinkle 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder, Italian seasoning, optional red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt.
05 - Starting from a long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam along the edge to seal completely.
06 - Slice the roll evenly into 10 to 12 pieces using a sharp knife.
07 - Place the cut roll-ups cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Brush generously with olive oil or melted butter.
08 - Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
09 - Mix melted butter with remaining 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder, chopped parsley, and 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan. Immediately brush over hot roll-ups after baking.
10 - Serve warm with additional marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or garlic dip on the side.

# Notes:

01 - For best texture, use fresh pizza dough and avoid overfilling to prevent spillage during baking.
02 - Assemble and refrigerate unbaked roll-ups up to 12 hours in advance for convenience.
03 - Experiment with alternative fillings such as cooked sausage, sautéed mushrooms, or bell peppers for variety.
